'An absolutely stellar book. The contributors include leaders in child therapy who provide sophisticated views of both clinical domains and treatment and address a range of spheres, including cognition, affect, behavior, and social functioning. The third edition conveys in engaging detail the enormous advances that have occurred in child and adolescent therapy, the scope of domains that cognitively based treatments encompass, and the very promising effects one can expect from treatment. This book is one of very few that integrate research and theory with clinical examples and treatment excerpts. As such, it fills a crucial void in the literature for training mental health professionals.' - Alan E. Kazdin, PhD, Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine
'Like its predecessors, this volume is a work of genuine quality, written by authorities in the field. Its coverage of interventions for youth with internalizing and externalizing conditions and other important problems, plus the thoughtful attention paid to developmental and treatment process issues, make the book an excellent resource for students and professionals.' - John R. Weisz, PhD, Judge Baker Children's Center, Harvard University
